'''Tynemouth''' is a town in the district of [[North Tyneside]] in the [[Tyneside]] conurbation in north-east [[England]]; as its name suggests, it is situated at the point where the [[River Tyne]] enters the [[North Sea]]. Tynemouth itself is a pleasant resort town with many nineteenth century terraces and mansions overlooking the sea. It boasts the impressive ruins of a medieval castle and priory overlooking the mouth of the river, and a large monument to [[Cuthbert, Lord Collingwood]], Nelson's second-in-command at the [[Battle of Trafalgar]] and the officer who both opened the fighting and secured the victory at that battle.
Prior to 1974 Tynemouth was a large county borough which also included the shipbuilding and fishing port of [[North Shields]].
